Sad, but true ...
What is amazing though, is how little thought is given to this problem. None
of the GSD standards across the world are different enough to create such
different dogs. It is the "interpretation" excuse that does that. If the
honest
to goodness goal of every breeder, exhibitor, and judge, was dogs that come
as close as possible to the standard, these very different styles of dogs would
not exist, and good dogs could compete and win in any conformation ring. If
that ever happened, entries in every ring would increase because most people
would be using all of the venues to promote their truly good dogs.
I know that the proponents of "interpretation" will jump on me for that
comment, but I won't be arguing the subject as I have in the past. I know I
can't
change their opinion so I'll just hope that breed education and the importance
of the standard becomes important again.
